Witch Born blog tour. Review, Spotlight & Giveaway



Brusenna thought it was finished.
She defeated the Dark Witch, saving the Haven Witches from imprisonment and death. She
found love and a place to belong.
She was wrong.
Haven is not the sanctuary it appears to be. Even love is in danger of slipping away like water
through cupped hands.
Some things can't be saved.
A new threat merges with the old as the Witches’ dark history begins to catch up with them.
Only Brusenna knows the extent of the danger and how to stop it, though doing so might cost
her everything.
Including her life.
Will Brusenna be required to make the ultimate sacrifice?



Our journey with Senna (Brusenna) and Joshen has come to an end, and what a journey it was.  These two characters have definitely come full circle and grown tremendously since their start in book 1, Witch Song. There were definitely some twists and turns along the way to keep you guessing; in the end will strong will, determination and love be enough for them to survive?

 

In Witch Song we are introduced to Brusenna; a stubborn, strong willed yet motivated teenager who has led a sheltered life for her own protection.  And Joshen the would be Guardian that share’s the same characteristics as his new friend, young Senna. The difference is Joshen has always known who he is, where he came from and what he is meant to be. They are thrust into a centuries old war among the witches as the bonds of trust, friendship and love grow and are put to the test.

 

In Witch Born our young couple have gone through Hell and back again in their efforts to save Haven and the elder Witches only to be torn apart by the very people they risked their lives to save.  As a new threat emerges Senna’s life is once again endangered as she struggles with the expectations of her people, the secrets they keep hidden from her, her strained relationship with her mother and her own personal growth.

 

This series reminded me of the Harry Potter series in many ways.  The characters Arglye has created have a realism to them as they grow into young adults and face the challenges life throws at them head on.  Faced with the darkness of death and the possible annihilation of the Witches, Keepers and Guardians; they hold true to themselves and each other along the way.  For every hurdle they cross two more pop up! Senna and Joshen definitely have to make the choice between what is right, and what is easy.

 

I definitely recommend this series, Argyle paints a vividly beautiful place with Haven and yet she manages to paint the dark side as we visit all the places time has destroyed. Well written, descriptive, imaginative and creative. 

 

I give Witch Song 4/5 and Witch Born 5/5… but that’s just my two cents!!
 
 
 
Amber Argyle grew up with three brothers on a cattle ranch in the Rocky Mountains.
She spent hours riding horses, roaming the mountains, and playing in her family’s
creepy barn. This environment fueled her imagination for writing high fantasy.
She has worked as a short order cook, janitor, and staff member in a mental institution.
All of which has given her great insight into the human condition and has made for
some unique characters.
She received her bachelor’s degree in English and Physical Education from Utah State
Uiversity.
